Rob Schneider slams Garth Brooks for Bud Light controversy: ‘Just be quiet’

Rob Schneider Tells Garth Brooks to “Just Shut Up” Amid Controversy

Actor and comedian Rob Schneider had some strong words for country music star Garth Brooks this week. Schneider advised Brooks to “just shut up” after finding himself embroiled in controversy over his decision to offer Bud Light at his upcoming bar.

During Brooks’ recent appearance on Billboard’s Country Live in Conversation, he seemed to take a jab at other country music artists who own bars but refuse to sell Bud Light. This decision stems from the beer brand’s paid marketing engagement with a controversial transgender influencer earlier this year.

“Yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer,” the singer declared. “We just are. It’s not our decision to make. If you come into this house, love one another. If you’re an a**hole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”

“In my existence, one a**hole can turn the whole tide down there,” he added. “My thing is, let’s create a place that you feel safe in.”

Brooks later reaffirmed his stance, emphasizing that inclusivity and diversity define him.

“I get it, everyone’s got their opinions,” Brooks stated. “But inclusiveness is always going to be me. I think diversity is the answer to the problems that are here. And the answer to the problems that are coming.”

Schneider, speaking on Fox Nation’s “Woke Up in America,” expressed his belief that Brooks should stay out of the drama and keep quiet in the future.

“I think next time, he’s going to stay out of it, isn’t he? I think Garth Brooks, next time, is going to shut his mouth and pretend like ‘I don’t have anything to do with what beer is chosen in my restaurant,'” Schneider remarked. “I think the culture is in a very weird little place of hypersensitivity one way or the other. And I think that’s why most people shut their mouths.”

Schneider argued that it’s good business practice for famous individuals like Brooks to avoid getting too involved with business operations. This way, they can avoid facing backlash if a situation blows up like this.

“I mean, just from a business standpoint, just shut up, say I have nothing to do with it,” Schneider advised.
